Ulster Head Coach Matt Williams has made five changes to Ulster's starting XV, ahead of their penultimate Magners League fixture, against inter-pro rivals Connacht, on Friday night at the Sportsground, kick off 7pm.

Tom Court starts as loose head prop, ahead of Bryan Young, who will start the away fixture on the bench. Ed O'Donoghue is back in the No4 shirt, while Carlo Del Fava takes to the bench. Chris Henry steps in as open side flanker for the inter-pro, in-place of David Pollock. Ian Whitten and Timoci Nagusa are named on the starting line-up, replacing Paddy Wallace and Andrew Trimble, who were not considered for selection due to injury.

Ulster need a return to form when they clash with their provincial rivals on Friday. Matt Williams will be hoping his team achieve another bonus point win over Connacht, and secure Ulster's place mid-table, ahead of their last Magners League game of the 08/09 season against Scarlets.
